This day in music history.

October 13, 2003, Rap superstar 50 Cent was the big winner at the World Music Awards in Monaco, taking home five prizes including best-selling artist of the year. Born Curtis Jackson and raised in Southside Jamaica, Queens, 50 grew up in a broken home. His mother passed away when he was eight (she died during a drug deal), and his father soon after, leaving his grandmother to parent him. 50 lived everything most rappers lie about: drugs, crimes, imprisonments, stabbings, and shootings (they say he has been shot 9 times). After several encounters with the law and prison he turned toward rap and away from crime. In 2002 Eminem signed 50 to a seven-figure contract and orchestrated his quick rise toward success. 50 Cent will be starring in the semi-autobiographical film called Get Rich Or Die Tryin which will be released November 9, 2005.
Excerpt from Fat Bitch from Get Rich Or Die Tryin
"Them Twinkies got your ass gettin' fat fat
Them cookies got your ass gettin' fat fat
That cake got your ass gettin' fat fat
Bitch you grown, that ain't baby fat fat
In the gym I see your ass up on the stair master
But you got it on level 2, bitch go a little faster
Look girl I ain't gon lie, I'll tell you how I feel
They should hand cuff your big ass to the treadmill
You wanna work out now, cause you know its gettin' hot
And your big ass fin to pop all up out the halter top
Find the right chick, wearing some tight shit, and it's on
See your ass wearing some tight shit, we like "She wrong"
Don't be stuck on the things they say
now you know it's a nasty world (know it's a nasty world)
I ain't fuckin wit you anyway
cause I know your a nasty girl - You's a nasty girl
(know your a nasty girl)
I ain't never gon discriminate
so let me compliment your eyes
(compliment my eyes)
Yeah, you got some nice eyes, but you's a big bitch man
Yeah, It's nothin' but a little baby phat phat
That Burger King dun got your ass fat fat
McDonald's dun got your ass fat fat
That Dominos dun got your ass fat fat
Yeah, It's nothin' but a little baby phat phat"
